Homeowners in Bellingham have a new one‑stop source for the two biggest window‑covering trends of 2026. Bindi and Bird, a locally owned, sister‑run business, has built its inventory around smart motorized shades and energy‑saving cellular honeycomb shades, carrying products from Hunter Douglas, Lafayette, Graber, Norman and Alta.
Smart Shades Meet Automation
Motorized shades are the fastest‑growing segment in the industry, automatically adjusting to schedules, sunlight levels or personal preferences. The technology reduces glare, helps regulate indoor temperature and eliminates the need to manually raise or lower blinds. Bindi and Bird, an authorized Hunter Douglas dealer, offers a range of motorized roller shades and panel‑track systems that integrate seamlessly with the store’s honeycomb shade line.
Honeycomb Shades for Comfort and Efficiency
Cellular honeycomb shades trap air in a layered structure, creating an insulating barrier that keeps homes comfortable year‑round while lowering energy costs. The store stocks popular options such as Hunter Douglas Duette and Applause, as well as comparable styles from Lafayette, Graber, Norman and Alta, giving customers a broad selection of fabrics, textures and price points.
Sliding Doors and Whole‑Home Solutions
One of the most visible applications of these trends is on sliding glass doors. Bindi and Bird installs motorized roller shades and panel‑track systems that stack neatly and operate smoothly, paired with Luminette window shadings that combine sheer fabric panels with rotating vanes for wide openings. The automation is especially valuable for doors that see frequent use and shifting sunlight throughout the day.
Family‑Focused Service
Founders Jodie and Jolene started the business to give homeowners direct access to the best window‑covering options. Their commitment to personal service is reflected in free in‑home consultations throughout Bellingham, Lynden, Ferndale and Blaine, with service extending into Skagit and Island counties. The sisters remain hands‑on, working alongside a carefully selected team of experienced specialists from the initial walkthrough to final installation.
Local Roots and Personal Touch
The store’s name, Bindi and Bird, honors the sisters’ dogs, underscoring the family‑centric approach that runs through every project. Customers appreciate the feeling of working with a local business that cares about their home as much as they do, rather than a faceless online retailer.
